- Human rights group Justicia Encuentro y Perdon reported 39 political dissidents were freed, including Wilder Vasquez, a university student previously sentenced to five years in prison for a 2018 plot against former President Nicolas Maduro.
- Despite the releases, Justicia Encuentro y Perdon reported 450 political prisoners remain detained, while the Rodriguez administration denies holding dissidents and claims to pursue national reconciliation.
- Rodriguez's six-month interim mandate has expired, raising legitimacy questions; she stated at the UN that there 'will be elections in Venezuela' without providing a specific date.
